Aftertreatment Hydrocarbon Dosing System
W2064634
The aftertreatment hydrocarbon dosing system is a part of the exhaust aftertreatment system
and is used to increase the exhaust gas temperature (EGT) needed for the aftertreatment
system.
The dosing system allows diesel fuel to be injected into the exhaust system of the engine to
increase the amount of hydrocarbon (HC) released.
The injected fuel will increase the EGT by oxidation of hydrocarbon. An aftertreatment
diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) is mounted upstream of the aftertreatment diesel particulate
filter (DPF). This elevated temperature is needed for the aftertreatment selective catalytic
reduction (SCR) system and DPF. The HC-system shall be governed by the engine control
module (ECM).
The dosing system has interfaces with a most of the vehicle's, major control systems
including the fuel system, compressed air system , exhaust system, electrical system, control
system and external mechanical interfaces.
